Who This Author Is

Anthony Holden has enough depth here to be more than a raw catalog rollup. This page pulls together 16 catalog-linked books across 1984 to 2016, which makes it easier to separate the strongest starting points from the noisier editions. The clearest lane here leans toward Biography & Memoir.

Best for readers who want life stories with a clear narrative hook instead of loose catalog drift. If you want the easiest first click, start with Big Deal: A Year as a Professional Poker Player and branch outward from there. UPB note: the strongest documented run here lands between 1984 to 2016; the most common copies on this page tend to come from Simon & Schuster and Random House Inc.
